One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery—this is Hagar. 25 Now Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia; she corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children. 26 But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother. 27 For it is written: 'Rejoice, O barren one who does not bear; break forth and cry aloud, you who are not in labor! For the children of the desolate one will be more than those of the one who has a husband.' 28 Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. 29 But just as the one born according to the flesh persecuted the one born through the Spirit, so it is also now. 30 But what does the Scripture say? 'Cast out the slave woman and her son, for the son of the slave woman shall not inherit with the son of the free woman.' 31 So then, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman. 1 For freedom, Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
